I never had a problem to do exactly this ...
For what do you need the hostname of the server?
My main.cf does not contain a hostname - it can easily be used over an
NFS share:
mkdir /data
mount server:/data /data
/etc/init.d/postfix stop
cp -rp /etc/postfix /data/postfix_nfs
mv /etc/postfix /etc/postfix_ORIG
ln -s /data/postfix_nfs /etc/postfix
/etc/init.d/postfix start
echo `hostname`| Mail -s `hostname` <account>@<yourdomain>
Works :)
My simple client server main.cf:
postconf -n
config_directory = /etc/postfix
mydomain = <yourdomain>
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
myorigin = $mydomain
relayhost = <your relay>
Where does the hostname kick in at your site?

Hello,
I have different SMTP gateways each one configurred exactly at the same
manner. The only difference is the hostname.
I would like to know if I could define "/etc/postfix" as an NFS share
somewhere and export it on each of my SMTP gateways. The aim is
obviously to change only one configuration file each time that a postfix
configuration update is needed.
TIA,
